Numbers 14:16-18

New International Version - UK

¹⁶ “The Lord was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath, so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.”

¹⁷ ‘Now may the Lord’s strength be displayed, just as you have declared: ¹⁸ “The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”
